Help me help them.

Pastors of smaller churches have one of the hardest jobs in America. Often overworked, under appreciated and underpaid, these faithful servants of God long for a friend, encouragement, validation and resources to help them minister to the members of their congregations.

For only $30 a month you can sponsor a pastor, providing them with coaching and resources that work in a smaller church.

Did you know that various studies and surveys of pastors revealed that:

80% believed pastoral ministry affected their families negatively.

50% felt themselves unable to meet the needs of the job.

90% felt inadequately trained to cope with ministry demands.

70% said they have lower self esteem now compared to when they started in ministry.

12% of ministers reported that they were depressed often or always in their ministry.

70% did not have someone they consider a close friend.

33% had considered leaving the ministry.

90% said their Bible School/Seminary Training did not prepare them for what they face day-to-day in the church.

50% of those who begin in the ministry leave their first pastorate in less than 5 years, never to return to ministry even though they felt called. Will you help them?

For $30 a month you can sponsor a pastor and give them coaching and resources. There is not a week go by that I don't hear from a pastor, either by phone or email, telling me the difference coaching has made in their life. You can make this happen. Email me today and tell me you want to help a pastor in 2021. I'll get back to you immediately with details on how to get started.  

"Every study we have done shows that church leaders will do a better job leading their church to health if they have a coach who comes alongside to encourage them, ask questions, offer resources and hold them accountable."

When Ellen and I started dreaming about Small Church Pastor in 2006, we realized that a unique thing about the specific group we were focusing on (pastors of smaller churches) is that often their finances are limited. To address this we decided that Small Church Pastor would be made possible by a "Financial support team" (raising funds like a missionary would), and by charging minimal fees for coaching and consulting.

The larger the support base the smaller the fees will be and the greater the possibilities of offering my services for free when needed.

Would you or your church consider joining our support team? Small Church Pastor is a non profit organization (501c3) which means your financial contributions are tax deductible.

If you have any questions about joining my support team, email me.
